Produce Overload: Canning Applesauce

I made the mistake of not spraying my mellow apple-producing Melba tree this year, and the apples are unnecessarily wormy. The whole apple isn't wrecked, you just have to cut out the worm trails. So Monday I picked up a 5 gal. pail of windfalls, then again on Wednesday, then again on Friday and then again today! So Ive been chopping (with the wonderful help of my Ma) and making applesauce! Im onto 8 litres and 12 pints - and not slowing down.

Heres what I do:

Quarter your apples, leaving skins and cores on  
Put in a large pot and fill with water until about 2 inches from the top of the apples
Cook the apples until they are completely soft
Pour the apples and their juice through a food mill
Put applesauce into sterilized jars
Process jars in pressure cooker for 5 minutes at 5 pounds of pressure (see "Produce Overload: Canning Beans" for more pressure cooker instructions).

And enjoy - all winter long, without taking up all your freezer space!

*Don't worry, I didn't forget the step "add sugar" - because you don't. You can put your sugar on when its in your bowl!*
